UPDATE: Sorry to all, but mostly to myself, but Sports Illustrated has decided they no longer wish to share these beautiful photographs of beautiful models so they had to be removed. Please forgive the wet floors, that's from my tears of sorrow.

Last week we saw the photoshoot spreads, now, the publication photos and this morning feeling like we need a good battle between a couple of the real standout hotties in this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, namely, Nina Agdal, the Danish princess for whom we predicted a monster breakout 2012 year of Nina-hotness, and Chrissy Teigen, who we begged for years to make babies with us, so we could have Eurasian-Egotastic offspring, but she went and ruined everything by getting engaged to John Legend. Still, she looks damn hot in a bikini; so our feelings remain bittersweet (and mostly sweet).

Bikini on bikini. There will be no blood shed. But you'd still better lay down the plastic sheets, if you know what I'm saying. Enjoy.
